Photographic a Dead Wife.

THE PEOPLE OF AVON, MICH, EXCITED OVER AN
EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDING.
New York World special from Avon, Mich,
March 6, says: sWe1l yet make q black bird Of
him that'H smell Of tar" said citizen yesterday,
referring to Charles Adams, who startled and
incensed the community by an act without par
allel in the history of the state On February
Mrs. Adams died, and on the 21st was
buried. Friday Mr.. Adams announced to a
body disinterred and photograph taken OF her as
she lay in her coffin Strenuous objection was
made by Mrs. Adams relative, who urged that as
there were several good likeneSseS OF Mrs Adams.
no excuse existed for the proposed dissertation
Adams persisted, however, and early yesterday
morning, with the sexton and his assistants, went
to the cemetery and began throwing the frozen
earth from the newly-made grave.
In half an hour crowd collected. among them
the mother OF Mrs. Adams and other more distant
relatives, many OF whom wept as the work pro-
ceeded. After an hours work the coffin was
reached, and before the lid was removed Adams
was again urged by Mrs. Adams relatives not to
persist In his work. He would not yield his prefer
ence. however, and though surrounded BY crowd
OF weeping and wail1ng women, and men who
threatened violence, he ordered the lid to be re-
moved. This was done and the face OF the dead
was exposed to view at the bottom OF the grave
The coffin was lifted out and removed to where it
could be placed against a background of snow
covered evergreens, and was photographed In the
presence OF fully One-half Of the Villagers. The
lid was replaced on the coffin and Mrs. Adams was
buried a second time. Some OF the townspeOple
believe that Adams is insane.

The Depth OF Initiative Perfidy.


Queerer still than che caterpillas which pretend
to be leaves or flowers for the sake OF protection
are those truly diaboical and peridious Brazilian
spiders which, as Mr.. Bates observed, are bril-
nantly colored with crimson and purple, but
"double themselves up at the base OF leaf stalks
SO as to resemble mower buds and thus deceive the
insects upon which they prey" There Is some
thing hideously wicked and cruel in THIS lowest
depth of initiative infamy. A flower bud Is some
thing so innocent and childlike; and to disguise
oneself as such for purposes OF murder and rapine
argues the final abyss OF arachn0id perndy. It
reminds one OF that charming and amiable
young lady In Mr.. Robert Louis Stevens0ns
SDynamiter," who amused herself In moments
Of temporary gaiety BY blowing up inhabited
houses, inmates and all, out Of pure nghtness
Of heart and glrlish frivollty. An Indian mantis
or praying insect, little less wicked, though no
less cruel than the SPIDERS deceives the fies who
come to his arm under the false pretence OF being
q quiet leaf, upon which they may light In safety
for resh and refreshment. Yet another abandoned
member of the same family, relying bodily upon
the resources OF tropical nature gets itself up as
complete orchid, the head and fangS being moulded
in the exact image of the beautiful blossom, and
the arms rolding treacherousy around the un-
happy insect which ventures TO seek for honey In
its deceptive jaws

Beecher On the Training OF Children
From the New York World

Beecher On the TRAINING OF Children.
From the New York World
do not like to SOW the seeds Of suspicion In the
minds OF parents about their children, but there
are thousands and thousands of parents in our
great cities who think, who know, that their chill
dren "never ne," and yet their tongue is like a
Bonded bow. They think their children never
drink; but there Is not fashionable saloon with
In mile Of their homes that the boys are not IA
miliar with. They think their children never do
u virtuous things; and yet they reek with unvir-
tue. There are many young men who when they
return to their fathers houses, are supposed to
have been making visits to this or that person. 1t
is o mere guiSe.
The practice Of allowing children to 90 out at
night to find their own companions and their own
places OF amusement may leave one in twenty un-
scathed and without danger; but I think that
nineteen out of twenty fall down wounded or de-
stroyed And If there Is one thing that is more Inn
peratiye than another it 1s that your children
should be at home at night; or that,
If they are abroad, you shall be abroad
with them. There may be things that it
IS best that you should do for your chill
dren, though you would not do them for your
selves; but they ought not to 90 anywhere at
night to see sights or to take pleasure unless you
can 60 with them, until they are grown to mans
estate and their habits are formed And nothing
more certain than that to grant the child liberty
to go outside OF the parental roof and its re-
straints In the darkness OF night is bad and only
bad, and that continually.

Fog-The Damage 10 Her slight.
BALTIMORE, March 1.-the steamship Rhefn,
Captain Jahns, reached her wharf at 10 O'Clock to-
day. The captain reports that he encountered a
dense fog on Monday night, and, being unable to
distinguish the lights on the coast slowed up his
vessel and moved cautiously. At i 20 on Tuesday
morning, she was going dead slow when she
grounded anidship, though the lead had been con-
stantly thrown since the preceding midnight. A
quantity Of coal and thirty tons OF salt were
thrown s9ls overload, which did not 1oat her. and
after daylight. Some Of the nine hundred pas
sengers were transferred to other vessels, and a
part OF the four hundred tons Of general cargo
with which she left Bremen was also put on board
other vessels. Yesterday morning she noated and
proceeded on her voyage. The damage to the hull
is supposed to be slight, as she Is not making any
water. She will be put into the dry dock to-mor-
row morning, when survey will be made. The
passengers transferred reached this port to-day by
a bay steamer.

NO FINANCIAL PANIC.
Mr. Jordan Says There Is No Danger
of One Before the First Of July.

With relation to the possibility Of a financial
panic resulting from the piling up Of surplus in
the Treasury after all the payable bonds are
called, Mr.. Jordan said to a STAR reporter this
afternoon that, looking far ahead as the first OF
July, he did not apprehend any trouble beyond a
pressure for small currency.
1t looks as il there might be tightness In small
currency in April. In fact, he said, the pressure
has already begun; but to meet this the Treasury
has a stock OF small gold coins. In the sub
treasury az New York alone there is upwards OF
$4O,OOO,O00 He said he would not attempt to
look beyond the first OF July. "The government,
however" he said "always has this resource: they
can go into the market and buy bonds IL the neces-
stty arises. This would relieve panic"

Dancing or kissing.

lie W. IL. In HAfpers Bazaar.
IL may be asserted, In general way, that wher.
ever In the United states you do not md dancing
you IND kissing. In communities where dancing
was dsapproved1 have Seen "string games" called
for and carried into practice at entertainments
held In school houses and even at church sociaples
In such places church members-and. for aught
know, deacons-take part In the amusement: and
1 have seen it develop friskiness so TO speak, In
gr1zzled men, which made them one would say
ything but seductive or beguiling TO the Young

comes In such communities systematic pursuit
like hunting or nshing. Young girls whose pa.

man In such a village told friend OF mine with
some Indignation, that she was the only girl In
town whom he had not kissed. IL is OF no use TO
object TO It as immoral where the church mem.
bers are committed 10 1t. Perhaps IL cannot be
called immoral; but when society has reached a
certain stage OF refinement these games vanish.
The symbol OF that increased refinement is usually
dancing. Dancing, whatever its drawbacks
serves practically as the antidote kissing ganes

seem TO flourish side by side; At any rate people
